“Something that is created with imagination and skill and that is beautiful or that expresses important ideas or feelings.” Some people may not agree with this definition. There can be good art and bad art, but at the end of the day if it is an expression of somebody’s emotions or thoughts, it’s art, whether one likes it or not. This is why the definition of art is so subjective. Somebody can throw paint on a canvas and call it art, but is it really art? This is dependent on the viewer. One…

Socrates gives three definitions for a Logos, but with examination, none can withstand Socrates’ rejection. The first definition proposed is that a logos is the ability “to make one’s thought plain by means of speech, with expressions and names” , but the problem Socrates finds with this proposition is that it is something most anyone could discover, and there would be no room for correct judgement, which is not a thing that knowledge would be.
